GPL - stuck at 25fps??

by Jeff » Sun, 18 Jun 2000 04:00:00

Hi,
     with my old TNT1 board running 2.08 drivers on Win 95 I could hit 36fps
on GPL (Normal running around, a few tweaks to the graphics settings on
1024*768 using OpenGL patch)

Now I've got a TNT2 ultra with the same 2.08 drivers (Ive also tried 3.53)
and Win98 I cannot
get above 26-27fps, no matter what tweaks I try, in fact the things I have
tried seem to make no difference at all which is odd?

Am I missing something obvious, and is there a way to get the new 5.22
drivers to work woth GPL? - I've tried them and get a wierd quarter screen
type result.

Any advice much appreciated.

Jeff

Jeff, you need to either raise the refresh rate on your monitor, to 75hz, or
greater, or  find a 'disable vsync' or 'don't sync buffer swaps to monitor
refresh rate' setting in your video cards preferences, probably in Win98
control panel / display. This will most likely cure your problem.

The settings may have gotten reset when you changed cards.

Good luck.

Sounds like you may be missing the following section of the core.ini as
without it you'd be stuck at about 25fps no matter what you did:
[ Int Profile Values ]
value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0                ; do not change
value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0                  ; do not change
value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0                  ; do not change
